Its Bethesda and Todd Howard, their entire career is built on learning the wrong lesson.

Its just gotten to the breaking point of where its castrophic for the games. the point where even modding wont fix it create interest in.

I remain convinced to this day (aint seen season 2 yet) that the only reason Fallout TV is as good as it is, is because theres enough people in power on the show to basically tell Howards worst ideas and impulses to get bent.
